Hurricanes generally strike the U.S. on the Gulf Coast and the southern Atlantic coast. This is because hurricanes are a tropical phenomenon that can only develop over warm ocean water. This warm water provides the moisture that fuels hurricanes. Cold water or land cannot provide enough moisture. The waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the Gulf Stream are generally warm enough to support hurricanes but further north they are too cold. Few hurricanes that stray that far north maintain hurricane strength. The waters off the west coast of the U.S. are similarly too cold for hurricanes.

They do, but most tornadoes don't make international news and generally, the strongest tornadoes that do most of the serious damage occur in the U.S. Hurricanes occur in the southern hemisphere, but are called cyclones or tropical cyclones rather than hurricanes.
